I'm owned by two horses. Romeo is a 17 year old AQHA gelding, who will be putting his trail buddy / babysitter status to good use. Harley is a 7 year old AQHA gelding out of Skys Blue Boy, and this year, we're going to try all KINDS of new things.

4/29/09 Ransom Free Lunge

I decided that, after Ransom had over a week off, a free lunge on the line & off would be in order.

We worked on the line & halter. Walk, trot, canter, and plenty of direction changes.. Finished up with some free lunge around the arena. I expected him to blow-up, running like a nut around the arena. He didn't.

I regret not saddling him, because I could have ridden. I expect to ride tonight, dressage, at least walk & trot, maybe short spurts of canter.

Total work 30 minutes. He worked up a good sweat, though some of it may have been weather-related. It's been pretty humid out.
